Earlier this year, we designed very spring-looking bouquets for one of our brides. We used seasonal flowers including peonies, ranunculus, and sweet pea for the bride and her maids. Here are some shots we took just before delivery.

This bridal bouquet showcased green hydrangea as a background, ivory roses, and white sweet pea. The sweet pea is the paper thin, clam-shaped flower seen all throughout the bouquet.

The bridesmaids carried these bouquets of white peonies and orange/coral ranunculus.

All three of these flowers come in many different colors and can be used in different ways. Ask about their availability for your wedding or event!

This wedding was such a pleasure to be a part of! Tricia and her family were wonderful clients and the wedding palate was so much fun to work with! Here are some snapshots that we took of Tricia's bouquet which was a mixture of whites and ivories with hints of green including roses, peonies and stephanotis. Check out the monogrammed satin ribbon wrap!

The following photos are by Browers. They show the gorgeous ceremony at the Shrine of St. Joseph and reception at the Chase.

The bride admires the flower girl's kissing ball in raspberry and green.

The bridesmaids' flowers were chosen to help accentuate the color of the dresses and really give a pop of color.

Lindsay and Jay were married at the beginning of August. They had a beautiful ceremony at Memorial Presbyterian. Their reception was a very personal expression of their styles held at the home of the bride's family. Here are some shots of the day by Erin Duggin.

The aisle at the ceremony was decorated with both clusters and spheres of wedding flowers.

The bridesmaids carried a mixture of flowers in bright yellow, orange, white with accents of purple. These bouquets mimicked the color and texture of the bridal bouquet.

The flower spheres from the aisle were transported to the reception to decorate the garden walk way. The dinner and dancing were held under tents in the backyard garden area.

The following photos are from Exclusive Events who provided the gorgeous lighting and lanterns for the tent.

The centerpieces at the guest tables were three vases of different flowers in each vase, clustered as one grouping. Some tables had square vases, some had round vases. The clustered arrangements fit in with the very garden-y look of the whole reception.

What a truly unique and wonderful event to have been a part of! Special thanks to Renee at Weddings by Renee for coordinating the wedding!

When considering what shape of bouquets you may want for your wedding, don't forget about linear bouquets. Here are some examples of some linear bridal and bridesmaids bouquets. Lots of different tall, thin flowers are usually used in linear bouquets. In these snapshots, our bouquets from this past spring include mini callas and cymbidium orchids.

These shots show the bridesmaids' bouquets of mixed pink mini callas and lily grass with green orchids and greenery at the base.

The bride's bouquet was a mix of white orchids and wine mini calla lilies with lily grass and folded variegated hosta leaves at the base.

These linear bouquets have a much more clean, contemporary look versus gardeny and lush. One is not necessarily better than the other. It all just comes down to personal taste and the style of the wedding.
